1995’s cyber-thriller The Net starred Sandra Bullock – but it nearly co-starred Bill Gates as the villain. More on the story here.

Go all the way back to 1995, and the cyberthriller The Net envisaged a world where you could get internet access on a beach, where you ordered pizza on a computer, and where some people used the world wide web for nefarious reasons. Pah, bloody movies, making stuff up.

The director of the film was Irwin Winkler, the Oscar-winning producer of movies such as Rocky, Rocky IV, The Right Stuff and Goodfellas. And he’s the latest guest on the Film Stories podcast, as he promotes his new movie, The Alto Knights. There’s a review of that at the bottom of this article.

With The Net though, a tale did the rounds that Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates was in line to play the villain of the film.

In 1983, a film dared to capture the raw courage of American men who defied gravity. A very ambitious project with a talented cast based on true historical events, this film was expected to do wonders after its release. And so it did, but only critically? Commercially, it became one of the 1980s' biggest box office flops, but unexpectedly, it was nominated for eight Academy Awards and won four Oscars. Philip Kaufman's The Right Stuff, which was based on a best-selling book published in 1979 by journalist and writer Tom Wolfe, chronicles the journey of the Mercury Seven astronauts and the test pilots who preceded them.

The Right Stuff was celebrated by the Academy for its undeniable artistry, but at the same time, the film grossed only $21 million domestically against a $27 million budget. How did this happen? The film is known for having unconventional pacing, but the answer doesn't lie in...

One of the greatest but perhaps unsung names in the history of genre cinema is Veronica Cartwright, a legend of sci-fi and horror going back to The Twilight Zone and The Birds (1963). She really gained attention in the late '70s after the one-two punch of Philip Kaufman's Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) and Ridley Scott's Alien (1979), where she played Lambert. Now she's back to the genre we love her in, starring opposite Madelyn Dundon (Getting Grace), Michael Steger in The Ruse. Check out more information below.

"When the in-home caregiver assigned to an elderly patient mysteriously vanishes, Dale (Madelyn Dundon) is quickly sent as the replacement nurse. She rushes to the remote seaside home, only to find herself in the middle of chaos—forced to deal with an unruly patient, mysterious neighbors, and terrifying supernatural occurrences that seem to plague the home. Is the house haunted? Or...

Dennis Quaid channels the notorious serial killer Keith Hunter Jesperson in the new trailer for Happy Face, a series coming soon to Paramount+. The show stars Quaid as the titular character and Annaleigh Ashford (American Crime Story) as his daughter, Melissa G. Moore. You can watch the new trailer below.

The show follows Moore as an adult as she investigates whether a possibly innocent man is going to be put to death for a crime possibly committed by her father, who happens to be the infamous Happy Face Killer. The big twist is that Reed discovered that her own father was the serial killer when she was only 15.

Following its run of 9 seasons that concluded back in 2019, Suits is regarded as one of the best legal dramas of all time. The Aaron Korsh creation starred Gabriel Macht as Harvey Spector, who is now set to return in the role in the spinoff, Suits: LA.

Regardless, even as fans await the upcoming series, a range of other characters also emerged as fan-favorites from the original run. Here’s a look at what the Suits cast is up to in 2025.

During one of the countless, often boneheaded interviews Sally Ride endured about her pioneering role in the United States space program, she schools a reporter on how to address her. “It’s Dr. Ride or Sally, but not Miss,” she says, flashing a smile that softened the lecture and much of director Cristina Costantini’s absorbing documentary the first American woman to go into space.

Throughout “Sally,” Costantini (“Science Fair”) leans into Ride’s face — the smile, the blue eyes, the moments of pensive regard — by closing in on archival images. Sometimes, she creates a palpable presence by linking footage with audio from interviews Ride gave during her lifetime.

In 1978, Ride was among the first women to enter NASA’s space program. Her groundbreaking compatriots were Judith Resnik, Anna Fisher, Shannon Lucid, Margaret Seddon and Kathryn Sullivan. Fisher and Sullivan appear here with stories that illuminate the era, but also...

Actor Michael Biehn has a podcast called Just Foolin About with Michael Biehn, which can be found on YouTube. Biehn’s latest guest was Veronica Cartwright, who ran into the alien xenomorph in the 1979 film Alien, seven years before Biehn had his own close encounter with the nasty creatures in Aliens. The full, 95 minute episode can be viewed at This Link – but to promote the episode, Biehn has dropped a 13 minute clip that shows Cartwright talking about the experience of working on Alien, including her reaction to the famous chestburster scene. You can check it out in the embed above.

Here’s the clip’s official description: Veronica Cartwright tells Michael Biehn about her time working on and filming Alien. She goes on to shed some light on whether or not the cast was truly unaware of what was about to happen in the iconic chestburster scene, and how genuine her reaction was.

The American dream purports that everyone has a chance at making a great life for themselves when they're in America, be they citizens or people who travel to the United States seeking some kind of ideal life. To believe in it is to be a rather optimistic person, and indeed, some in America find what they're after. Certain movies have explored the American dream without being total downers, including the likes of Minari and The Right Stuff.

Patrick J. Adams might not be returning to the Suits universe via Suits: L.A. anytime soon, but he does have one project in the works that is much more exciting. Adams starred as Mike Ross in the main cast of the USA Network legal drama from season 1 to season 7. Mike exited Suits once Adams left after season 7 for personal reasons. But, the actor was able to return in a three-episode arc in the show's final season to conclude Mike's story. So, when Suits: L.A. premieres, it will have been a little over five years since Adams played Mike.

Suits: L.A. will premiere on Sunday, February 23, 2025, at 9 p.m. Et on NBC. The spinoff's pilot was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, but the cast and crew are filming the rest of the series in Los Angeles, California.

Paul Maslansky, a producer behind films such as “Police Academy” and “Return to Oz,” died on Monday of natural causes at a hospital in Los Robles, Calif. He was 91.

Maslansky collaborated frequently with Oscar winner Alan Ladd Jr. Together they worked on “The Russia House,” “Death Line,” “Race With the Devil” and “Damnation Alley.” He also produced “Love Child” in 1982 as well as the 1979 comedy film “Scavenger Hunt” and the 1995 fantasy feature “Fluke,” starring Matthew Modine.

Following the production of “Love Child,” Ladd requested that Maslansky advise on The Ladd Co.’s upcoming movie “The Right Stuff.” After watching the parade scene in the film, Maslansky wrote a short story about a group of police cadets. This would go on to become “Police Academy,” which grossed $82 million in 1984 and led to six film sequels, an animated television show and a live-action series.

Prior to the film’s theatrical release, Maslansky...

Producer Paul Maslansky, who came up with the premise for the first Police Academy movie and got help from three world-class directors to push the troubled cult classic Return to Oz past the finish line, has died. He was 91.

Maslansky died Monday of natural causes at a hospital in Los Robles, California, his partner of 16 years, Sally Emr, told The Hollywood Reporter.

The New Yorker made his producing debut in Italy on The Castle of the Living Dead (1964), starring Christopher Lee, and he filmed George Cukor’s penultimate feature, the Elizabeth Taylor-starring The Blue Bird (1976), and Fred Schepisi’s The Russia House (1990), starring Sean Connery and Michelle Pfeiffer, in the Soviet Union.

Maslansky, who collaborated often with Oscar winner Alan Ladd Jr., also produced Larry Peerce’s Love Child (1982), starring Amy Madigan in the true story of a woman who is impregnated by a guard in prison and has...

Christopher Nolan, the director of modern masterpieces like Inception and Interstellar, calls Dune: Part Two a “remarkable piece of work.” Not only did he say this, but he said it to the director himself, Denis Villeneuve. Nolan joins others who have shown their love for the sequel to Dune. Receiving such a compliment from the man who many say is modern cinema’s most important filmmaker left Villeneuve wearing a broad smile during his conversation with Nolan during a DGA panel in which the Oppenheimer director tries his best to pick the brain of the director of both modern Dune films:

“I watched the second half and I think it’s a miraculous job of adaptation, of taking that second half and making an incredible conclusion to the story. What a remarkable piece of work."

During the conversation between the directors, Nolan praised Villeneuve’s ambitious science fiction sequel. He...

Ryan Eggold and Eloise Mumford are being sought after by one of literature's most iconic detectives for different reasons in Cross. Having first held down one of the lead roles in The CW's 90210 sequel show, Eggold subsequently found success starring in NBC's The Blacklist and co-leading its short-lived spinoff, Redemption, while also landing a major role in Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman around the same time. More recently, Eggold found acclaim leading the cast of the medical drama New Amsterdam, while also directing three episodes before it came to an end in 2023.

Much like Eggold, Mumford found early success in the world of television with her key roles in Fox's crime drama Lone Star and ABC's The River, a found-footage horror show from the creator of the Paranormal Activity franchise and produced by Jason Blum before Blumhouse fame. Since then, Mumford...

An expert review of the 1983 historical drama The Right Stuff praises the space epic's realism. Directed by Philip Kaufman and adapted from Tom Wolfes 1979 book, the film chronicles the lives of Navy, Marine, and Air Force test pilots involved in pioneering aeronautical research, as well as the Mercury Seventhe first astronauts chosen for the first human spaceflight by the U.S. The film stars Dennis Quaid, Sam Shepard, Ed Harris, Scott Glenn, Fred Ward, and Barbara Hershey, and went on to win four of its eight nominations at the 56th Academy Awards.

In an expert video with Insider, retired NASA astronaut Nicole Stott awarded the film a perfect 10 for its portrayal of space travel preparation. Stott particularly praised scenes showing John Glenns (Ed Harris) experiences with intense gravitational forces and reentry, noting how accurately the film captured these challenges.

The Substance (2024) is a satirical body horror film written, directed, and co-produced by Coralie Fargeat. The story centers on Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore), a fading celebrity who is fired from her TV show for being deemed too old. Desperate to regain her youth and career, she turns to a mysterious black market drug known as The Substance, which has the ability to create a younger version of herself named Sue (Margaret Qualley).

The program comes with strict rules: Elisabeth and Sue must alternate every seven days, sharing the same consciousness. As they navigate this bizarre arrangement, unexpected and grotesque side effects begin to unravel their lives. The film blends dark humor and body horror, drawing comparisons to Cronenberg’s work, with stellar performances from the cast. Some view it as a grotesque fever dream that explores themes of identity, obsession with youth, and the price of vanity. Set in both urban and isolated locations,...

Award-winning composer Michael Giacchino has opened up about his recent visit to the set of the highly-anticipated The Fantastic Four: The First Steps movie. This marks Giacchinos latest collaboration with Marvel Studios, after previously working on multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, including Doctor Strange, Tom Hollands Spider-Man movies, and Thor: Love and Thunder.

Production on The Fantastic Four: The First Steps is currently underway, after over two months since it started in London. During a recent interview with Brandon Davis, Giacchino teased the upcoming MCU reboots practical sets, revealing that he was impressed that the creative team chose to shoot on real locations, instead of relying on green/blue screens. "I was just on set for a week," he explained. "It was just something to see real sets everywhere. There wasn't a Volume or a green screen to be found. It was just beautiful sets. They're doing such incredible...

It's possible that the best "Star Trek" movie of all time could be the one that never existed. Before Gene Roddenberry's hokey but heartfelt '60s sci-fi series made the leap to the big screen with a series of wildly inconsistent movies beginning in 1979, the franchise nearly went in an entirely different direction. If not for a studio exec who hated science fiction, and creative differences in the writers' room, the first "Star Trek" film would have been "Planet of the Titans," an incredibly ambitious project that was developed over 7 months before being shelved for good, according to the book "The Fifty-Year Mission."

The first "Star Trek" oral history book from Edward Gross and Mark A. Altman, subtitled "The First 25 Years," sets the record straight on many moments from "Trek" history that have become the stuff of legends, but...

Dennis Quaid recently took the theatre by a storm with his autobiographical film, Reagan. The actor is one of the most celebrated Hollywood celebrities who established his credibility via a plethora of movies.

Quaid once attributed The Parent Trap as giving his career a second chance or a turnover. The hilarious family movie has since then been regarded as a classic, one which launched Lindsay Lohan too. However, despite its popularity the senior actor revealed he wasn’t interested in a sequel. The reason however is not with the movie itself rather it’s because one absent cast member.

In honor of the dearly departed

Dennis Quaid cemented his worth in Tinseltown by appearing in a wide range of films. The actor rose to fame with movies like Breaking Away, The Right Stuff, The Big Easy, Innerspace, and more. Recently, the actor once again appeared on the big screen but...

Jeff Goldblum, 25, has forgotten his mantra. At least, his nameless party guest character – dubbed “Man on the Phone” in the screenplay – has. And it’s the way he delivered that line in 1977’s Annie Hall that made him stand out despite only having a few seconds of screen time. Somehow – just by being himself – Jeff Goldblum turned a throwaway bit into one of the funniest lines in one of the funniest films.

As for Jeff Goldblum himself, he says his mantras are “I am grateful” and “Accept, enjoy, enthuse.” And that, across 50 years on the big screen, is as truthful as it gets when it comes to Jeff Goldblum.

Let’s find out: What Happened to…Jeff Goldblum?

As much as his costars Lindsay Lohan and Lisa Ann Walter have voiced enthusiasm for a sequel to 1998’s “The Parent Trap,” Dennis Quaid isn’t sure it’s something he’d want to do following the death of Natasha Richardson. When asked if he would work with Lohan again, Quaid told “Entertainment Tonight,” “I would.”

“I’d love it,” Quaid continued, but added, “You know, I don’t know if we could do ‘Parent Trap 2.’ Because who wants to touch that? Natasha’s not here.”

Natasha Richardson, who starred in “The Parent Trap” as Lohan’s mother and Quaid’s ex-wife Elizabeth, and whom the twins played by Lohan look to reunite with their dad, died in 2009 following a ski accident.

From Apollo 13 to Interstellar and Hidden Figures to First Man, among others, Hollywood has succeeded in capturing the history and spirit of NASA many times over. Through technical prowess, harrowing narratives, and three-dimensional characters, these films manage to convey the truly awe-inspiring nature of space travel, along with all the scientific ingenuity and danger that comes with it. However, as great as these movies are, none of them is as sprawling and intimately compelling as The Right Stuff. Based on Tom Wolfe's 1979 book and released in 1983, the Philip Kaufman-directed epic takes audiences behind the scenes of the 16 years America engaged in fierce competition with the Soviet Union over space travel and exploration. Clocking in at a lengthy 193 minutes and featuring a star-studded ensemble cast, The Right Stuff distinguishes itself as the premier cinematic account of NASA thanks to its docudrama approach to storytelling and detailed depiction of...

AMC’s new series “Anne Rice’s The Talamasca” has found its leading man in Nicholas Denton, the network announced Wednesday.

Denton, who can be seen in Starz’ “Dangerous Liaisons” series and drama series “Glitch,” will lead the cast of AMC’s third Anne Rice series. The project centers on a secretive society called the Talamasca, which aims to contain witches, vampires and other creatures scattered around the globe.

Denton stars as Guy Anatole, who is described as “brilliant, handsome and sharp on the surface, but he’s always known his mind works a little differently.”

“On the cusp of graduating law school, he is approached by a representative of the Talamasca, a secretive agency that monitors and protects us from the supernatural world,” the official description for Guy reads. “When Guy learns that the Talamasca has been tracking him since his childhood, he falls headlong into a world of secret agents and immortal beings who,...

For the longest time, Dennis Quaid, whose film career spans nearly 50 years, has considered one film experience as his favorite. In a recent MovieWeb interview, the star of the upcoming Reagan biopic said that his role as astronaut Gordon Cooper in 1983s The Right Stuff always took the No. 1 spot in his heart. Until now.

Quaid plays President Ronald Reagan in his new biopic, which is mostly set in the 1980s. He said playing Reagan made him ponder his experience in 1983s The Right Stuff, which initially gave him a different measure for ranking his movies. The experience I had making [films] is very big for me, because Id watch a movie and I remember what I was doing on that day. [Its] been The Right Stuff for most of my career, because astronauts were big with me when I was a kid. He added:

I wound up playing my hero, Gordon Cooper,...

Wolfgang Petersen's 1985 sci-fi film "Enemy Mine" was beset with production problems and bogged down by massive marketing costs. The film's original director, Richard Loncraine (1995's "Richard III"), reportedly butted heads with producer Stephen Friedman and walked off the set after only a week of shooting. Petersen stepped in after that, moving the production to Germany and starting over. A film that was supposed to boast a modest budget of only $17 million ended up costing over $29 million.

"Enemy Mine" was then released into the very busy 1985 holiday season, competing with "Out of Africa," "The Color Purple," "Legend," "Clue," and "The Jewel of the Nile." Audiences, it seems, weren't in the mood for a modest sci-fi yarn, and stayed away in droves. "Enemy Mine" also opened alongside Terry Gilliam's dystopian nightmare "Brazil" and Richard Attenborough "A Chorus Line," but those films similarly tanked.

Additionally, the reviews for "Enemy Mine" were only middling at best.

Dennis Quaid said that he can relate to the late Ronald Reagan, whom he plays in a new feature biopic, because, “he was really kind of a fading actor towards the end of his career.”

Quaid noted that Reagan, who retired from acting in 1964, initially ran for president of the Screen Actors Guild in 1947, which was “right around the time” his first wife, Jane Wyman, won a Best Actress Oscar for “Johnny Belinda.”

“I think he felt a bit of a failure, to tell you the truth,” said the “Innerspace” actor. “I know he never got to the place that he aspired to be and I could really relate to that,” he said on Thursday’s Megyn Kelly Show podcast.

Quaid also said he “didn’t have any qualms” about playing the late president, despite the political division in the country, noting that — like Kelly — he’s voted both Democrat...

The Dennis Quaid-led biopic of Ronald Reagan is one of those movies I feel like I’ve been hearing about forever. While it’s been in the planning stages for years, it first really started to pick up steam in 2019 when director Sean McNamara (Soul Surfer) signed on to helm the film, along with the great Dennis Quaid to play the famed 40th President of the United States.

Shot at the height of the pandemic in 2020, the film has spent a good chunk of time in post-production. I’ve been seeing posters of it at CinemaCon since 2021. Yet, the movie is now set for release, and star Dennis Quaid has been open about how pleased he is with the finished product, calling it his favorite movie of his own since The Right Stuff.

In the lead-up to the film’s release, we had the chance to sit and talk...

Taylor Sheridan’s new “Yellowstone” spinoff “The Madison” is adding three new cast members.

Patrick J. Adams, Elle Chapman, and Beau Garrett are all set to star in the series, joining previously announced lead Michelle Pfeiffer.

“The Madison” was previously in development under the title “2024.” Per the official logline, the show is a “heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.” It is not yet clear if the show will debut exclusively on Paramount+ or start off on Paramount Network like “Yellowstone.”

Adams will play Russell McIntosh, described as “a young investment banker who has followed the life path set before him from the start.” Chapman will play Paige McIntosh, said to be “a somewhat self-centered woman who indulges in a luxurious New York lifestyle provided by her parents and investment banker husband.” Garrett will play Abigail Reese,...

Jay Ira Kanter, veteran film producer and agent to a long list of Hollywood luminaries including Marlon Brando, Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, among others has died. He was 97.

Kanter died peacefully and surrounded by his family in his Beverly Hills home on the morning of August 6.

The agent and executive got his start in the business after his stint in the US Navy, which he joined during World War II. Kanter applied for a job at McA and rose up quickly through the ranks. He was mentored by Lew Wasserman.

At age 22, Kanter sought an offer for a young actor named Marlon Brando. Brando then traveled to Los Angeles via train, and Kanter picked him up at the station. Upon arrival, the two became fast lifelong friends, with Brando becoming Jay’s longtime client.

Kanter went on to represent stars such as Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, Gene Kelly, Warren Beatty,...

Exclusive: We’ll be seeing more of Wyatt in the upcoming season of 9-1-1: Lone Star. Jackson Pace, who has recurred as the character since Season 3, has been promoted to series regular for Season 5.

Pace has appeared in nine episodes of the series through its most recent Season 4 and will appear in all episodes of Season 5, which premieres Monday, September 23 on Fox.

Pace’s promotion follows the exit of Sierra McClain, who, Deadline learned, had quietly left the series following some cast renegotiation drama, and amid rampant speculation that Season 5 will be the show’s final chapter.

Pace’s Wyatt was introduced in Season 3 when he arrived at Austin’s 126 firehouse to meet firefighter Judd Ryder (Jim Parrack) to tell him he was his son (as the result of a relationship years earlier) and although wildly different, he eventually bonded with his new-found father and his family (wife...

Patrick J. Adams' role in Accused could allow him to be the bad guy Mike Ross never was in Suits. Adams plays Pete in Accused season 2, a potentially nefarious character in the crime drama. Accused takes twists and turns, so, Adams' character in the episode could be the guilty party.

After starring as Mike Ross in Suits for more than seven seasons, Patrick J. Adams is set to appear in a different drama TV show, and, hopefully, he will get the chance to play the type of character that Mike never could be. The USA Network series, created by Aaron Korsh, ran for nine seasons before ending in September 2019. Four years later, though, Suits had a resurgence when added to Netflix, resulting in a new spinoff, which Adams won't star in as a series regular. Nevertheless, Adams will continue his legal/crime drama career in Accused season 2 on Fox.

With the passing of Donald Sutherland, I was looking through his catalogue for stuff I hadn’t seen yet as I like to look at the entire catalogue to find some hidden gems. What I was reminded of while looking was his stellar horror output over the years. Fallen, The Puppet Masters, Don’t Look Now, Virus, the Salem’s Lot TV miniseries, and of course Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors are all fun to great but for my money, his turn in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (watch it Here) and really the movie in general, is his best stuff. After buying the wonderful 4K from Kino Lorber and rewatching it, I’m also ready to crown it as the best San Francisco based horror movie too. While it can feel every bit as long as it’s 1 hour and 55-minute runtime, it uses that slow build tension to...

While there is a new Suits spinoff coming, one of the cast members of the original series just picked up a new TV role of his own. Patrick J. Adams, who starred as Mike Ross on the law-based TV show, has signed on to appear in the Fox anthology crime series Accused.

Here is what you need to know about Adams’s new role and what to expect from his appearance.

Suits Star Signs On For Accused

USA Network ended Suits in 2019. However, the show remains a beloved favorite thanks to its streaming on Netflix. Despite its popularity, it hasn’t meant big things for the cast. Gabriel Macht, who played Harvey Specter, hasn’t had a role in anything since the show ended.

About three years ago, we heard that Lethal Weapon franchise star (and potential Lethal Weapon 5 director) Mel Gibson had signed on to star in a fantasy adventure / family horror film that was going by the title Boys of Summer. That project has since been given a new title, Monster Summer, and it’s set to reach theatres on October 4th. The marketing has now officially begun, as a trailer for Monster Summer has made its way online, and you can check it out in the embed above! A poster has also been unveiled, and that can be found at the bottom of this article.

Directed by David Henrie (This Is the Year) from a script written by Cornelius Uliano and Bryan Schulz (The Peanuts Movie), Monster Summer follows a local boy, who after his best friend is mysteriously taken, begins to suspect that a supernatural entity may be hunting the children of Martha’s Vineyard.

The Black Phone star Mason Thames is gearing up for a Monster Summer, a spooky family adventure from director David Henrie (“Wizards of Waverly Place”). A brand new trailer debuted today, introducing a supernatural coming-of-age story.

Monster Summer arrives in theaters on October 4, 2024.

In the film, “When a mysterious force begins to disrupt their big summer fun, Noah and his friends team up with a retired police detective to embark on a monstrous adventure to save their island.”

The new trailer below leans into the nostalgia of childhood summers with a suspenseful twist, while giving nothing away. It’s also packed with familiar faces.

Lorraine Bracco, Nora Zehetner (“The Right Stuff”), Noah Cottrell (“The Spiderwick Chronicles), Abby James Witherspoon (Secret Headquarters), Lilah Pate (“Outer Banks”), Julian Lerner (“The Wonder Years”), Patrick Renna (The Sandlot), and Mel Gibson also stars.
